Phillipa, I feel my thread to help educate people on proper foods with MAOI's was not an appropriate place for your post.
However, now that its done, lets use it to educate on that subject of not using washout periods.
I was not here when that happened but you were and I'm surprized that you don't remember what happened. But since you've brought it up, I'll explain for others.
First, it had nothing to do with food, and I believe that was never even mentioned as a possibility. It happened to poster Pheonix1 in late 2007, as a result of running out of Nardil. For reasons unknown, he immediately switched to Parnate for 2-3 days with out any washout. He then restarted the Nardil. This caused problems obviously. No washout periods. He, and his PDoc, knew you can't do this. I'm not clear on who made that bad decision. I feel for Pheonix, for what he went through, I'm not sure what his condition was when he started posting again. He sounded lucid.
At any rate, I read posts from him after that, he wished he could still take Nardil, as it was the only thing that worked for his depression. He seemed Okay, but I've never talked to him. Did you know him Phillipa?
Anyone wishing to know more about this should search: Pheonix1 Nardil Parnate, just look for his posts. Dec2007-Jan2008
